Customer Reviews for VEVOR 800mm Manual Hand Plate Shear for Metal Sheet Processing, Benchtop Cutter with Q235 Material, for Crafts Thick Steel Crafting, Heavy Duty Roll Press Machine for Builders, DIY Enthusiasts

I haven't used it yet, but it looks and feels great. I believe it will do the job really well. Vevors system here won't let me submit this review unless I add another 100 characters, which I think is absolutely ridiculous. I'm not getting paid for this. Having said that I have bought from Vevor lots of times and never been disappointed. But saying I have to write over 100 characters in a reveiw is pushing the friendship.

I got the 12” hand plate shear and bolted it down to my bench and is it’s worth every cent because I don’t have to get the grinder out or hunt down tin shears that are usually not big enough for the job. This VEVOR shear is awesome!

I make crafts out of license plates and it’s great for cutting them

Bought for use on copper sheet up to 1mm thick and it cuts it like butter. Nice clean edge. Light to use and handle is good. Could do with a mechanical safety lock to hold the shear down when not in use. Too easy for it to be left up a little and cut if the handle is leaned on.

That’s the third Vevor tool I bought (after two print presses) and again, I have not been disappointed. The model I bought is the 12” shear, which I use to cut gauge 18 copper plates, that come in 12” x 12” or more. The hand shear cuts these 12” plates like paper, and the cut is very clean. I just had to bolt the shear on the workbench, so I could use two hands to pull the lever. The “hold-down” logic is a bit confusing at first, but it’s super useful once you get used to it. I protect the copper so the hold-down doesn’t leave a mark when unscrewing to hold. I checked around before buying the Vevor shear and every tool I found in the 12” range was around $300 after factoring in the shipping. I highly recommend this tool, and the brand.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Cuts license plates SAFELY with ease.

Use this to cut copper craft projects and it works very well!! Great quality and easy to use. It's nice and heavy so it doesn't move around too much while cutting.

It works as it should a great product. I almost wish I bought the bigger one .

It works great for metal roofing in particular. It is extremely heavy, and the blade looks blunted for a reason. I had read some bad reviews from Lowes over this tool, and they are crap reviews vs what i saw it actually do.

Shears are pretty simple tools, nonetheless this one is executed well. Assembly takes about five minutes (just several bolts to make the handle) and that's about it. Tips: -like with all big cast iron tools, these ship with bolts not super tightened etc. to prevent cracking. So make sure the bolts are tight, it will help keep the cuts straight when using on thicker materiale. -Make sure to use the hold-down part (the black thing that holds the metal flat) - it will help keep the metal where it needs to be, and not allow it to \"rise\" and make the cut less straight. -Several smaller cuts are always better than one big one, if you can do such. also, cutting closer to the throat / inside will result in less deviation, depending on what you are cutting. Also, as with any standard tool check if there are any cracks in the cast iron. This is rare, but these boxes get thrown around a lot, and sometimes there might be a crack you might find after it's too late.
